Section

Amnesty International documentation and publications, 1999 onwards. Includes press releases, public statements, publications, leaflets and campaigning postcards. Amnesty International began depositing these papers in the Centre in 1974. Additions are made quarterly. Documentation was originally arranged under the Centre's own system with the reference MSS.34. From January 2000 the additions (including some dated 1999) are arranged according to Amnesty International's own reference system; these later deposits have therefore been differentiated as MSS.34B. A vast number of short press releases and other brief statements are deposited. Amnesty have created codes for all possible categories but not all codes have, as yet, been used. The full catalogue for this section (1961-1999) is not yet available online. A paper catalogue at the Centre lists those countries and sections that we hold material for, with covering dates, but itemises only a sample of our holdings (usually the more substantial pieces). All are available to readers.
